A REPORT which could determine if the £11 million A590 High and Low Newton bypass scheme is included in the Government's Roads Scheme is imminent.

A delegation of councillors, Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Collins, Furness MP John Hutton and Harry Knowles from Furness Enterprise met Transport Minister John Spellar on Wednesday.

Mr Spellar told members a decision about inclusion of the scheme in the Roads Scheme would be made when a report by the Highways Agency, due soon, was completed.
